John Anderson stated, "I am thrilled to announce the launch of eBay India's first Diamond Week. Diamonds are one of the most searched for items on eBay and the diamond sellers are some of the most entrepreneurial sellers we see in the marketplace. With April being the month of diamonds, there was no better time to bring buyers and sellers together to celebrate this category."
With the recent integration, eBay India joined the eBay worldwide family of sites with a common global visual identity. Buyers and sellers in India now have access to a global trading community of 135 million users in 32 markets worldwide. eBay India, now allows Indian users to trade locally, regionally and globally along with the rest of eBay's worldwide community of users. No other web site offers Indian traders a proven local service with an international reach. Indian users can use their single eBay India ID to trade internationally. Indian sellers can sell their product by listing them on any of the 32 eBay market sites. Indian buyers can also choose to buy products from any of the eBay local sites.
John added, "We see great potential for Indian entrepreneurs to trade globally especially in categories such as jewellery, apparel, leather, collectibles, & handicrafts. Globally eBay users trade over $1.7 billion of jewellery. Today, Indian sellers are already making thousands of items available to this vibrant global community of 135 million users."
